(50,254 posts)He thinks that being on a show with someone who ONCE backed the Iraq War(and later recanted)is just as bad as praising the life's work of a war criminal...and he also thinks it's possible to write a glowing review of Kissinger's book(which was also, as phrased, a glowing review of Kissinger's deeds)WITHOUT endorsing all that Kissinger did.
HRC COULD have said "What Dr. Kissinger did in Chile, Vietnam, Cambodia, and East Timor, among other places, was indefensible" but she didn't say anything like that. Her review contained no qualifications of the praise at all, no acknowledgement at all of the massive harm the man caused.
This is why wyldwolf is obsessed with making Corn the issue, with Corn was hardly the only person who thought this mattered.
